Watson & Crick Philosophical Branches
Three branches
Ontology
The Nature of Reality
Ontology addresses what exists in reality
Epistemology
Sources and Validity of Knowledge
Epistemology highlights how knowledge is acquired, validated, and distinguished from ordinary beliefs.
Axiology
Value and Purpose of Science
Axiology addresses the value and purpose of science.
1. Crick & Watson view
Scientific inquiry is combination of empirical data (X-ray diffraction by Rosalind Franklin, Wilkins) and theoretical modeling.
Scientific knowledge is built through collaboration among scientists.
Modeling (DNA double helix) as a key tool to understand biological phenomena.
Knowledge is constructive: scientists actively build theories from fragments of data
2. The key contributions
Interdisciplinary approach: integrating biology, chemistry, and physics.
Highlighted the importance of model-based reasoning in scientific discovery.
Emphasized that scientific theories must be evidence-based.
Impacted epistemology of science by showing that knowledge is actively constructed, not merely passively observed.
3. The influence in the scientific methods
By highlighted the importance of integrating multiple sources of evidence
By emboding the principle of falsifiability of their double helix model
2. By developing hypotheses of their relience on model building reshaped
4. The impacts
In subsequent periods (1970s onward)
their philosophical impact expanded as molecular biology grew
During their time (1950-1960)
their approached reflected a new scientific philosophy
Nowadays
their philosophical ignited long term ethical debates that still define science today
